<p>In 2025, the Fakumoya show host won her biggest radio award during the South Dance Misic Awards(SADMA) for the Best Dance Music Radio Show.</p>

<p>&#8220;This year 2025 I would like to say thank you to God and my family. Shout outs to the South African Dance Music Awards SADMAs where I won &#8220;Best Dance Music Radio Show&#8221; which was voted for by listerners. Thanks to SABC and UKhoziFM for giving me an opportunity to live my passion of Broadcasting to millions,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Dj Zeal further said that in addition she managed to start her own business called Tshuza restaurant which is situated in Clairwood in Dbn.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s been a great year for me and me starting the Tshuza restaurant was a blessing in disguise because when I&#8217;m not on radio and booked in events I focus in my restaurant where I&#8217;m managing it and also cooking. Yes I&#8217;m great cook as much as I do have my staff but I prefer to be hands on,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Dj Zeal was also given the opportunity to be the voice behind the Ingoma Ehlukanisa Unyaka campaign which decides the artist and the song for the crossover to the new year.</p>

<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-78986" src="https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/IMG-20260105-WA0015.jpg" alt="" width="715" height="714" srcset="https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/IMG-20260105-WA0015.jpg 715w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/IMG-20260105-WA0015-300x300.jpg 300w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/IMG-20260105-WA0015-150x150.jpg 150w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/IMG-20260105-WA0015-450x449.jpg 450w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 715px) 100vw, 715px" /></p>
<p>Gugu who sounded livid made these allegations when Gagasi FM was officially celebrating Dj Tira for winning the Song Of The Year with the song titled Awungazi where he features Pcee in an event that was held at Platinum Lounge in Umhlanga on Friday.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-78981 size-full" src="https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/IMG-20260105-WA0014.webp" alt="" width="715" height="893" srcset="https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/IMG-20260105-WA0014.webp 715w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/IMG-20260105-WA0014-240x300.webp 240w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/IMG-20260105-WA0014-150x187.webp 150w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/IMG-20260105-WA0014-450x562.webp 450w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 715px) 100vw, 715px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>According to a Durban based Zulu newspaper, Gugu said Gagasi FM was standing out for the truth.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Gugu further dropped a bombshell accusing the Johannesburg based radio stations for demanding R50 000 to playlist a song.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;Thank you Gagasi FM for standing up for the truth and supporting artist through their hard work. It is very painful to see radio people demanding money from up and coming artists. Where do you think they get the money? It&#8217;s horrible. It&#8217;s very painful what&#8217;s some Johannesburg based radio stations are doing. It&#8217;s sad to say the least,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When the man of the day took the stage, he thanked Gagasi FM for the voting process which the station was using.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>He praised it saying that the listeners had to vote once using one cellphone number.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Tira praised Gagasi FM for supporting his music from the days when they were a group called Durban&#8217;s Finest with Dj Sox and for giving them a chance to present a show in the station called G-Session.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;Amapiano music has always been there and it is giving us sleepless nights but the beauty about us KZN artists is that we have managed to stick together, stick to our Gqom music and did not allow other genres to influence us,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Station&#8217;s Manager Pinky Myeni praised Dj Tira for always being open to work with Gagasi FM.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;His arms are always open to work with us and may he continue doing what he does best. We will always be open to work with him whenever a chance is available,&#8221; she said.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In an effort to save the job of the suspended Durban based Gagasi FM radio Presenter, Felix Hlophe, his fans have started a petition to save his job.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The petition is called Mvikeleni uFelix Hlophe Ekubhujisweni (Protect Felix Hlophe From Being Crucified).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Felix who is placed on special following a video of him that went viral on social media demanding his first wife Tracy Hlophe and kids to come back home for the Christmas day.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now it has emerged that the fight between Tracy and Felix was caused by the fact that she moved out from their home with the kids to stay with a friend after her husband paid lobola to the second wife Ayanda Bhengu from uMlazi.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Felix paid lobola for Ayanda in mid December which did not sit well with Tracy who decided to move out with her kids to go and stay in a friend&#8217;s house.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>According to close reliable sources, Tracy moved out to stay at friend&#8217;s house and promised Felix that she was going to be back in their home before Christmas.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;Shortly after the lobola was paid for Ayanda, Tracy became bitter and decided to move out with the kids to stay with a friend. This is the same who decided to take a video of Felix when he came to ask for Tracy to move back at home with the kids for Christmas. It&#8217;s not true that she was attacked or beaten, it&#8217;s a friend who wanted to paint a picture that Felix was abusive on that day,&#8221; the source said.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The video managed to influence the Gagasi FM management to suspend Felix until January 19.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;He was frustrated and stressed because it was clear that his wife and kids were going to spend their Christmas day at a friend&#8217;s house. The person who must be blamed for all this dram is Tracy. Tracy is behaving like she&#8217;s being abused or forced to be with Felix. She knew that Felix wanted a second wife and she was okay with it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;Tracy even dictated live on Mzansi Magic&#8217;s reality TV show called Life With Felix where she made it clear that what kind of woman she wanted as the second wife of Felix. Tracy and her friends made sure that Felix looks like a bad guy. He may have erred there and there but he wanted to spend the Christmas day with his family,&#8221; said another two sources who are familiar with the Hlophes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Attempt to get comment from Felix and Tracy proved as we were informed that they are not doing any interviews at the moment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Text messages were to Felix but they were ignored.</p>
